MISO juggled several projects over 2023 designed to fend off imminent reliability problems and will keep up the multitasking in 2024.

NYISO’s Business issues Committee approved testing of dynamic reserves, changes to the LCR optimizer, and new capacity accreditation rules.  

Comments are due Nov. 3 on PJM’s proposal, which it said would improve reliability and incentivize resource development while controlling costs.

 

MISO said it will push back a contentious filing for a new, marginal approach to capacity accreditation into early next year.

A call for FERC to run a technical conference on capacity accreditation ran into a mixed reception, with the ISO/RTO Council saying it is too regional of an issue for the idea to have an impact.

PJM members recommended various avenues for the RTO's Board of Managers to consider as it weighs a possible FERC filing incorporating components of proposals made during the critical issue fast path process.

The American Clean Power Association filed a petition at FERC asking the commission to take a universal look at capacity accreditation of different generation technologies.

Stakeholders remain frustrated with MISO’s plan to enact a marginal capacity accreditation as staff insist that the approach will measure the true value of capacity.

FERC shut down the possibility of Entergy and other smaller MISO South providers bypassing a provision within MISO’s availability-based capacity accreditation rules.
